Really curious about this one thing. When you mistype or mis-swipe your mobile phone unlock code, do you

a) backspace furiously
b) keep going, w/ the idea that it's faster just to fsck up once

I'm not going to say which way I lean here, but I will say the question resonates with me because my music teacher says you should never allow yourself to play wrong notes. Which seems like an infuriatingly obvious thing to say -- and it is that -- but it's also probably correct.

And in jazz (and many other contexts) one approach is “play the ‘wrong’ note again and make it right.” :)

@geoffduncan yes. I should have been more clear with the context, which was trying to play sheet music.
